Level 1: AI & Machine Learning with Python (On-Campus)

Dive into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and explore how machines can predict your preferences. Learn how to create recommendation systems by leveraging AI algorithms and Python. By the end of the course, you will have built a recommendation system and smart, interactive chatbot, ready to apply your skills in the real world.

What You'll Learn

• Write basic concepts of coding with Python
• Understand how recommendation systems work by exploring collaborative filtering and content-based recommendation techniques
• Understand the Machine Learning Lifecycle, from gathering and cleaning data to training and testing models
• Understand how machine learning algorithms, like Surprise, are used in real-world applications
• Discover how to connect APIs that leverage LLMs to make your chatbot more conversational

Final Project

For your final project, you will build a recommendation system and an interactive chatbot that integrates machine learning and large language models. The recommendation system will be built using Python and the Surprise library, leveraging real-world data such as the MovieLens 100K dataset. The interactive chatbot will be developed using a pre-built Discord bot template, which you will customize to provide personalized recommendations within a Discord server.
